Description

The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune.

Array y:y~r- DAILY EDITION BY MAIL FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR WEEKLY EDITION BY MAIL TWO DOLLARS A YEAR NINTH YEAR NELSON: SATURDAY MORNING JANUARY 19 1901 PRICE giVE CENTS CALCULATED TO MISLEAD LOCATORS OF MINERAL CLAIMS MUST BE MORE CAREFUL. A Supreme Court Decision That Should be a Warning to Mining Men, The judgment of the supreme court of Canada lately delivered by Mr. justice Gwynneforthefull bench in the now famous appeal case of Coplen vs. Callaghan respecting mineral claims in, the Slocan district arrived from Ottawa yesterday morning. The fact's of the case are briefly as follows: The Cube Lode mineral claim was located running in a northerly direction,and so described on the post of location as well as on the records. The , re- . spondent believing the location to have been made as described on the records, to_wit: in a northerly direction staked the ground running, southerly from the appellant's posts. It so happened, however, that the appellant staked his claim in a southerly direction but by mistake described it as staked in a northerly direction. "Both parties wore therefore staked over the same ground. ��� The appellant sought to save himself by claiming, the protection **of section 28 of the Mineral Act. The section has been the cause of more litigation than the whole remaining portion' of the Mineral Act. It reads as follows: "Upon any dispute as to the title to any mineral claim, no . irregularity happening' previous to the date of the record of the last certificate of work, shall affect the title,thereto, and* it jshall be as?. sumed* that up to that date the title to such claim was perfect, except upon suit by the attorney-general based upon fraud." Mr. justice Gwynne's judgment * reads as follows: -,>i- �� That ~* the* -description* of the* :Cube Lode claim as recorded by the appellant does not precisely conform to the provisions of the statute of British Columbia in force in that behalf is not disputed. The evidence, indeed,-leaves no doubt in the matter,' and it is in fact admitted. The:only question therefore which, as .it appears to me, is .at all necessary to be decided- in the present appeal' is whether the deviation from the prescribed was calculated to mislead and did in fact mislead William Callaghan, now deceased, when subsequently recording the Cody and" Joker fraction claims located by him on behalf of persons whose title was duly transferred to him in the life- __ti me of deceased _of_jtvhose_ estate, the respondent is administrator. The Cody and Joker fraction claims as recorded cover portions of the Cube Lode claim as claimed now by : the appellant, but.do not,touch the Cube Lode claim according to. the description as recorded. The whole . contention of the appellant is that all objection tcf the defect in his recorded description of the Giibe Lode claim is removed.by his, certificates of work done by force of sec. 28 of chap. 135 Revised Statutes of British Columbia; but whatever effect that contention might Jbe entitled to in an action between the. appel-. lant and ' the provincial government, it has no application here where the contest is solely between ��� the appellant and the respondent; in'which the sole question is; whether the ownerof the Cody and Joker fractions claims as recorded; have not by reason of the error in the Cube Lode claim as recorded acquired superior right to the claim of the appellant to so much of the land coyeiied by the "records of.: the Cody and1 Joker claims as the appel- Jant.asserts claim to.as part of the Cube Lode claim as :now claimed by jhim, although such land is not within the" description of the Cube Lode claim as recorded. Y "That'the error in the; description of the Cube Lode claim as recorded was calculated to mislead, and that in point of fact the Cody and Joker fractions claims were 'ilocated and recorded as they were by reason of "such misleading error, have, been found as facts by the learned judge who tried the case, and such his finding is well supported by the evidence, apart altogether from any question of fraud in any person whomsoever. "The appeal, therefore, must be dismissed with costs." Jt is therefore settled by this ease that the granting of a certificate of work is no protection to locators locating their mineral claims in such a manner as will tend to mislead other parties.

The Sandon hockey team were defeated by the Nelson team in < the game played at the rink last evening by a score of 7 goals to 2. The game was one of the fastest ever played in Nelson, and the Sandon boys took their defeat well. The ice was in fair condition and the game went off without a hitch from start to finish. Over 200 spectators'were in attendance and a continual cheer from the crowd was kept up until the last. > ~ ' '��� -"'.,- ., ��� The game was called shortly^ before 8:45, and during the first half was decidedly under the control of the Nelson boys. During the ��� first ten minutes of the first half the puck was kept-well up against the Sandon goal but a few minutes later the Sandon boys made a ' rush and by a clever- pass and a fluke made by'goal tender -Neelands, the Sandon_bdys'scored .the firs. goal. This* was the only goal they' scored I in the first half.. The first goal J scored in favor of the Nelson boys was made shortly after by Wet- more. The last ten minutes of this half was the fastest part of the whole game. The Nelson team during this period did some clever playing, and -in quick succession Thompson scored the second, and third goal. The fourth goal was shot by Perrier. The last half of the game was not "so fast as several of the boys tired.-* During the first fifteen minutes of this half neither scored, the puck being kept well to the center. After twenty minutes had elapsed Nace made a clever combination play to Perrier who made a neat goal. The -Sandbn_boys~again~madea~ru'slrand~ in less than two minutes they scored their second and last game against Nelson. Thompson shot the last two goals for Nelson. During the last half McKinnon of the Sandon team received a slight injury and had to ^withdraw, and .in order to make the teams the same strength Wetmore withdrew from the Nelson side. The combination of both! teams was only fair. Many good plays were made by all the boys at various times throughout the contest. The Nelson teams plays a return match at Sandon on the 28th. The line up of the teams is. as follows: '" NELSON. SANDON. S Noelandfi Goal W.Clittb C. Archibald Point............ J. Crawford C. Jeffs..... .Cover Point... .H. Jackson (captain) J. A. Wotmore (oapt)... Forward 0. Nace... A Perrier. J. Thompson W. P. Green, M. D., of Evanston, Illinois, who is one of the directors of the American Boy Mining Company of Chicago, operating the American Boy, situated near Cody, arrived in Nelson yesterday after making a trip of inspection of the property. He visited the property to make his annual report on the condition of the mine to the eastern stockholders. He reports that the mine is looking well and there is a large showing of ore in the "three upper tunnels, on which stoping is progressing steadily. Regular shipments are being-made to-the. Nelson smelter. The company has a contract of' 100 tons" of ore .��per^ month to keep up. . There is'- no work being done in the lower tunnels, as the ore. is .of such a nature that it cannot be used by the smelters at the present time. The ore of the upper working is of a carbonate nature, and is" required''by the smelters for fluxing purposes. : A tunnel has been started on-the Black Hawk claim, which adjoins the American Boy, and which is owned by "the,same company.- The The tunnel is now in about,; 50" feet and has been in ore all the way. When the first shot in opening up the tunnel was fired it uncovered a a clean' galena vein of six inches.' The development in this direction will be. pushed to a considerable depth. - - - Mr. Green also stated that the Ydirectors.of the company .werewell pleased with the way in which Mr. McGuigan' "of .Spokane was "conducting.the work at the property. During the past few months several improvements have been made at the property. New ore houses have been erected'and large' loading stations have been erected at the mouth of tunnels No. 6 and No. 2. These are in every way convenient and are giving the 'best of satisfaction. Prom the workings' tracks have been laid to these and ore is readily placed for delivery. The company has contracted with the company controling the Last' Chance mine for' the use of its tramway and by this the ore is easily delivered to the transportation point. From a late report made by the consuitlng engineer it _is_said_that_the_value_of_^.the_ore_in, sight at the present time will amount to $100,000. Mr. Green, during his stay in that section, also made a visit to tlie Last Chance property, which is situated near the American Boy. He stated that the property was in excellent shape, but shipments had been; suspended owing to ���' the difficulties > with the smelters. The Last chance company is tinder- taking.a new enterprise in the shape of running a tunnel for prospecting purposes. The tunnel was started near the foot of the hill and is now in to the depth of 800 feet. When completed it will be from 1700 to 1800 feet in length and will have passed through and under the entire five claims owned by the company. The claimsare Blizzard, Last Chance, Star Light, Galena and Galena Fractional. The vein of the Last Chance claim has been encountered and passed. It was much richer at this 'depth ~ than on the surface. The. company expect to encounter the vein of the Galena claim in a distance of 40 feet.' The tunnel is being driven at the rate of about five feet per day. When the tunnel is completedY the company will have obtained a depth of about 1000 feet. ,,..;.Y Montana's. Increased Output. F. P. Gutelius, local resident engineer of the C.:P. R., who has been in Butte for the past ten days, has just returned. He expresses himself as greatly impressed with the great advancement that is being made there in the mining industry. Thousands of tons of ore are being mined daily, and a great era of prosperity seems to .have been entered upon. Noticeable advancement has been made in the smelter industry, and a new smelter to the capacity of 5000 tons per day is being erected at Anaconda. The buildings have been completed, and the machinery will be installed at once. There is already at this point a smelter with the capacity of 5000 tons per day, and although in operation day and night its capacity is not sufficient to treat the enormous amount of ore that is received. From the mines throughout the district, to the smelters, three trains .consisting of 40 cars' each arrive daily. These bring to be treated about 6000 tons of ore. The present shipments'will be doubled when'the new smelter is jn operation. Developing Ten-Mile Prospect. Godfrey Birtsch, who owns- a ���promising., prospect on Ten-mile creek, whicli empties into Kootenay river near Slocan Junction, leaves this morning to do some work-on the property.- A prospect shaft has been started and it is the intention to continue it" to a depth of 100 feet. The vein is about two feet wide on the surface/but'widens with depth. The ore is silverJead, giving assays returns of 248 ounces silver.. This is the'only-prospect on the creek that is being developed, although a large number of, claims have been staked.' ' -' *' ,j: Yesterday's Mining Records. 'Certificates'" of improvements were issued yesterday to the London and Rossland (B. C), Limited, on the Albemarle, Fraction Frac: tional, Ronoke and Pulaski, all situated on Wild Horse creek.

According-;to the \New-~Jersey,-law the maximum penalty for the prisoners is 30t years imprisonment. The jury took 14 ballots,] and after summoning judge Dixon . and the prisoners filed into the court room. They returned at 8:15 o'clock,' having been out four, .hours" and 29 minutes. The prisoners, when brought in appeared very nervous. McAllister seemed to be more excited than any of the others. He set biting his lips while waiting. Campbell thrust his hands into his trousers pockets and clenched his fists within them. Death looked anxiously about tlie court-room for a moment and then assumed the same attitude as Campbell. When _the_jverdict_j-vas__announced__the_ prisoners exhibited neither elation, relief or surprise. Judge Dixon thanked the jury, and said he believed the verdict a just one. He then dismissed the jurors until Monday morning at, 10 o'clock. The court then rose and--.the prisoners were taken back to the jail. -:.,:"���; Army Reorganization Bill Passes. Washington, January -18 Just before six O'clock this" evening the senate finally disposed of the army reorganization bill. The measure originated in the senate the final question was not upon its passage, but upon, agreeing to. the senate amendments. They were agreed to by a vote of 43 to 23. A determined effort was made today to amend the bill so as to provide against the sale of liquor in the Philippines, and to prohibit the importation of any kind of intoxicants into the island, but it was defeated. A notable speech was delivered during the day by Mr. Hale of Maine, who, while opposing the increase in the strength of the army, stated cogently his reasons for supporting the bill. ________ Promotion for Sampson. Washington, January- 18.���-Secretary Long has written letters to the chairman of the congressional naval committees callings attention to the varions recommendations for promotions in the navy contained in his last report, and urging their favorable consideration by congress. He particularly advocates the revival of the grade of vice admiral of the navy, presumably with a view to the promotion of rear admiral Sampson to that grade, the effect of which would be to make him tlie second ranking officer in the navy, admiral Dewey being his only superior* Nkw York, January 13.���A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: Military men are disappointed by the feebleness of the measure adopted by the war office for easing the situation in South Africa. They assert that sir Michael Hicks-Beach is again at fault, as he was before the campaign opened, in withholding financial supplies, which are indispensable. He is a prudent and careful" financier, who insists at every turn that the war expenses must be kept down* to the lowest possible point. - Lord' Roberts is credited with having advised the ministry to send out 50,000 fresh troops and to withdraw an equal number of men from the lines of communication. Military men assert that this - was the true policy,'since it would have relieved at- least one; fourth of the troops now in" the field and encouraged those left behind to believe that their turn, would. come. The .expense . of transportation would have been, considerable,.but the army would not have, become dispirited and stale; and would ha-v-e beeh^greatly invigorated. The chancellor of the exchequer is currently reported to have objected strenuously to this ,'course, and small" relief measures, such as fresh levies of Yeomanry and Australians, have been substituted' for a comprehensive policy.. r" - * ' Lord Rosebery has once again set the nation thinking.. His speech at Wolyerhampton is freelyY com- mented onr by the"*' .newspaper's, which", on- 'the- whole, thank the liberal earl for his remarks,' Jt)ut wish he had not- been so candid. They are annoyed, at being so frequently told of late that England's foreign trade is- suffering from American and German competition." Lord Roseberydid not supply any conclusive, answer to the question of how England was to fight America and Germany successfully in the matter of trade, and the Standard remarks that' if anything effectual is to be done the leaders of opinion must abandon their meritorious generalization and apply themselves closely to details of the problems on which they are so fond of touching.

Queenstown, January 18.���Sig mund Hertze of New York City," who was arrested after the arrival here Thursday evening of tlie Allan line steamer from Halifax, charged with forgery at the instance of the United States authorities; was not brought before the magistrate here today. The police are awaiting the arrival of a Scotland Yard officer to take him to London for extradition. The sum of ��350 was found on Hertze, but no trace of the missing bonds was discovered. As there is no charge against his wife, whoaccompaniedher husband across the Atlantic, she was not searched. She is known to have a number of bank drafts. Their clothing is elaborate and costly. Mrs.' Hertz spent last night with her husband at the police station. This evening she went to a hotel. Hertz is ab'so'^ lutely silent on the subject of his' arrest. Sigmund Hertz, who wasv the confidential financial man of Stiefl, Sachs & Co. of New York city, had been^missing 9ince January 2nd. Members of the firm allege that he is ah embezzler to the extent of $100,000, and that his method of operation' was to forge the firm's signature to checks, cash' them, and destroy them when returned by the bank.

FEAR COMMERCIAL WARFARE LORD ROSEBERY SETS ALL . ENGLAND THINKING. QUEEN VICTORIA'S HEALTH CAUSES GREAT UNEASINESS IN ENGLAND. There is Nothing Sufficiently Alarming in the Physician's Report - to JuBtify the Anxiety. ��� London, January 19.���Although it is fully understood that there is no cause for alarm beyond what would naturally be felt. at the indisposition of any one ' of "the" queen's age, the official announcement 'issued " last evening . - has caused a shock to the court, the effect of which it would be'difficult to exaggerate. Her majesty's ab- m solute freedom from, illness during the longest reign in English history has led her people to regard her almost as more than mortal, and the mere novelty of having to face .the possibility of a' regency, alonel suffices to create unnecessary apprehension. It is necessary to go back to'a date prior to 1820 for a. similar situation. Since that time there has ^ never^ been an-, interruption of ' a smooth ' working of the constitutional '.machine.,.-. No one, not-even the.^princef of > Wales,i "cariact for the queen without- the authority of parliament, and as no steps have been taken to summon parliament it may be taken for granted that her majesty's physicians have only adopted measures . of precaution, and that she is still able to sign absolutely imperative documents though relieved of the' worries of routine affairs. ' The illness of the dowager empress of Germany, tlie sudden death' of her majesty's old friend lady, Churchill, together with the deaths of the duke of Saxe Cobourg last summer, and of prince Christian' Victor subsequently, and the incidents of the war in South Africa' have been great trials to tlie queen, but even within a week she has. re ceived lord Roberts, and sent a message of condolence to tho widow of Dr. ^reighton, late lord bishop of, London.

Lord Rosebery prefaced his declarations regarding commercial warfare with' the following observations: "The enormous and "constantly��� increasing-^armament--of��� Europe may be the means of preserving peaee. In the first place, this may be so because war is an operation of such incalculable importance, producing such immeasurable results, that any nation hesitates to trust its fortunes to the issue, and in the second place, there is scarcely any territory in the world now to acquire except countries so densely populated that the cost of their acquisition would be incalculably greater than their value to the conqueror."'

There seems to be a slight difference of opinion as to whether the Canadian Pacific*raised its haulage' rates on ore since January 1st. The railway people say they lowered, the rate a dollar a ton from all points since January 1st; and the smelter people say the freight and.- ' treatment charge has been reduced, a dollar a.ton; but that the deduction from lead value has been increased 30 cents per hundred! pounds,' which is equal to $3 a ton on ore that carries 50 per cent lead. It seems that, from these statements, it is the smelters, and not . the Canadian Pacific railway, that -*"-ilrto~bIame fortheincreasedcostof" treating Slocan lead ores. ' The business interests of the city are steadily increasing, andthejr are multifarious. To carry them on successfully requires good judgment, and they must be continn- ally watched. The one official held responsiblefor the successful conduct of the city's business affairs is the mayor, and the mayor should be paid an adequate salary, if he ia expected to do his whole duty. Nelson should pay the mayor not less than $2000 a year, and one of the first acts of the council should be the introduction of a by-law fixing the mayor's salary. Pay the mayor good wages and see that he earns it. The city will be money in pocket by doing so. Nelson gets over her municipal elections very" easily. She don't have any���the inayor and. aldermen all going in by acclamation. Nelson is right up-to-date in all that she does, and one of tho most progressive and enterprising towns in tho west. The above is' from the Victoria Colonist. Yea; Nelson is a progressive and enterprising town, because the mossback >and intolerant self-seeking-, element have not been - allowed to gain control; of its civic government., It is progressive and enterprising because its people have always been independent and not knucklers to either individuals, corporations, or governments. It will. facturing centler of British Columbia, and what the people of Nelson determine to do they accomplish. But, all the same, the compliment paid by the Colonist is taken in the spirit in which it is tendered, and may the town in which the Colonist is printed become the most attractive spot on the Pacific Coast for the tourist and the home-seeker. The Cranbrook Herald says that Nelson settled her municipal fight in a sensible way. There was no municipal fight in Nelson; there was an election by acclamation. THE .GENUINE WORKER. [By P. Shonfeld.] In very few countries, since the ruling power. was wrested from a_ privileged class, has the privilege of government by the people been exemplified to a higher degree than in our own fair land of Canada. The aristocracy of democracy has fully developed and the highest positions in the land are open to competition to the humblest toiler. The cause of the workingman is progressing day by day and one of the most hopeful signs of the times is that people are beginning to respect the dignity of labor and to recognize the fact that labor is the source of all wealth. This is but right and it is to be hoped that the leaven may spread rapidly and honest manly toil be accorded that place to which it is justly entitled, but which has too long been denied. The day is fast approaching when -the merits of a skilled artisan who, from the raw material, fashions and makes an article of commerce will be considered as equal to, if not superior to those of the middleman or merchant who merely passes it from One hand to the other. In this country all are workers or ought to be' yet it is difficult to make the manual toiler at the bench or on the anvil, in the factory or on the farm believe that his condition is not essentially different from that of other classes and to be candid, no section of the. community has been more presistently taught by politicians: that legislation only can afford it proper relief. The working man of today has the inestimable advantage of becoming acquainted through the cheap press of every question that continue to be progressive and I vellim to his immediate welfare as enterprising because its people are I weil aS a]] subjects of the highest determined to make it the manu-J attornments. He is perfectly aware of the important position he holds in the human hive. He knows that in the federal parliament; as well as in the provincial legislature that the principle of direct responsibility to the people exists l whil t in every city and town the municipal system on the election basis is in full operation. The rural districts have also their representative institutions wielding enormous powers. Every genuine worker should therefore consider it his bounden duty to educate himself to the requirements of the times so that he can conscientiously acquit himself in a manly way in the sphere of action in which he moves. Our workingmen need not necessarily devote their leisure moments to abstract questions on the relative merits of free trade and protection but should jealously watch and insist upon a just and economic administration of public affairs, and while studying to what degree he is personally affected thereby should not neglect closely observing the various processes by which legislation is effected. We have the press teeming with wonderfully written articles on imperial federation, annexation, unrestricted reciprocity and its twin sister, commercial union. Splendid subjects for argument and foundations for debate and magnificent matter for political oratory, but earnest workers may safely confine themselves to the consideration of the construction and expansion of more immediate and direct personal affairs. The laws which have been established for the benefit of the workers have done much to ameliorate their condition, and no other province in the Dominion can equal British Columbia in giving freedom of combination to the toilers, enabling them to have a fair day's pay for a fair day's work and preventing capital from tyrannizing over labor. Passed a Talkative Winter. New Orleans Times-Democrat. A man who spent' the winter of 1898 in Dawson City was relating some of his experiences to a party of friends in the corridor of the Grunewald last night. - ''From November clear on, to March," said he, "it" was far too cold for "any kind of work,- and all we could do was to huddle around the fires and talk. It was the most talkative winter of my life, yet there was oue topic we never exhausted; in fact, we invariably drifted around to it, -no matter where wje started. That was what we'would do when we got back to 'God's country with' a big stake. A good many of the boys had the gold already stored away in tin cans under their bunks, but not one of us doubted that he would strike it rich before he left, so we were all on an equality when it came to discussing future plans. I remember a big jovial Irishman by the name - of O'Halloran, who had accumulated 1200 'ounces,' worth about $18,000, and who used to declare the first thing that he would do when he got home would- be to buy a hack. He-was always a day laborer before he came to the Klondike, and his life had been made up of long stretches of hard work and miserly saving, followed _by_brief_and_glorious_drunks,_in- which he rode in hacks, with his legs through the windows, chanting bacchanalian hymns. To him hack- riding represented the climax of human luxury, and to have a hack of his own, in which he could ride continually without being 'braced' for fare was the pinnacle of his dreams. Imagination could go no further. .Another lucky gold; hunter was a young man named: Andrews, who had been a, waiter in a 'Frisco restaurant and whose, familiarity with numerous 'high- toned' delicacies, acquired by studying the bill of fare, gave him considerable social prestige. He used to tell what he would eat when he got backj* and the recital never failed to interest a large audience. 'Now tell us wot yer goin' to order for de ong-tray,' somebody would suggest, and lie would proceed to reel off a section of menu card in French while his listeners licked their chops o-nd rolled their eyes in ecstasy. After a long diet of bacon and beans, Andrew's monologues were positively, maddening. One of; _-the. simplest-minded of the crowd.was a chap from Iowa who could never be induced to express a wish for anything except a suit of pink silk underclothes. He knew a faro dealer at Seattle^ who pos' sessed such garments', and their weird .beauty together with the fact that they cost $35 a set, had appealed .powerfully to his imagination. He had fully $20,000 'planted* in an old oil can, but- he never allowed; his fancy to roam beyond the pink silk underclothes. I trust he is wearing them now, but I doubt it. The only man I knew who made' a really accurate forecast of his proceedings when he reached civilization was a big pro- * m m m 9\ m (ft (ft (ft (ft (ft (ft & GO ;^-iv��ff*. ************************************.

We have this upon- the authority of many eminent divines, whose prophecies to this effect have been widely published. Among them are the late -Dwight L. Moody, who said shortly before his death: "A most remarkable religious awakening is at hand." ��� The Rev. Quiucy L. Dowd, of Illinois, who has issued a pamphlet upon the subject, says: "It is certain that a revival is now forming, and that it is no one class of believers, no one class. of minds, who predict the revival." Professor McGiffert, of Union Theological Seminary says: ''I verily believe, standing on the threshold . of the new century, that we are on the eve of one of the greatest and most profound religious revivals that the world has seen. A national revival campaign has begun in the.city of New York by the formation of a Committee of Fifteen,;whose prescribed duty is to conduct a national evangelistic re- revival throughout' the entire country through the medium of the churches and church societies. Its platform and principles are to be - forwarded'to every minister in. the United States. ,, - .[ That the public in this country, is now iu an unusually- sensitive and receptive condition is shown by. many* social signs which, have steadily .augmented in significance during, the past few years. Among these'may be mentioned the enormous number of persons who have chosen to witness- great religious plays; the multitudes who have purchased books like "In HisSteps'.' and the fact that many great newspapers, whose directors are in. the closest touch with public opinion, have latterly devoted their editorial colums to ethical essays and' religious sbrmons in a way " that has not-hitherto'been known in the history of the daily press. ** , These are the signs of the times. It is. now proposed herein to call attention to still another sign, a sign .of the greatest significance; a sign so portentous as to be awe-inspiring; a sign not only that the above-mentioned prophecies are true, but also that the coming revival, before it has reached its end, will bring about a religious social arousal such as has never before been known; that this revival "whiclris^ce"rtainly"c6mihg, will"be" one of those great historical religious epochs which are the most memorable and most potential Paid-up Capital, Reserve Fund, 88.000.000 $2,000,000 ACGRECATE RESOURCES OVER $65,000,000.

The point is, not that they ought to^but that they inevitably must. The. meaning of the evolution of the^ GnristiiSti-TeHgiOn-" isthis: That- . for nineteen ^-hundred years the; various great [ churches and sects which have _ounded themselves uponv> the.. Biblcj have differed, < argued and disputed.'.. That' great theological * rebellions" and' deser- tibns from existing religious bodies have taken place many times; that liitndreds of thousands of controversial books have been written, producing a perpetual change in th'-e way in which the Old Testament and the New.; have Ybeen viewed and interpreted and received by Christian believers. . : That-all great churches, like that of Rome, have constantly altered their intellectual position on minor pui'nts of dogma; that new churches and sects, born of new intellectual impulses or new religious desires, have constantly sprung into life. In short, that for nineteen centuries there has been a natural, incessant and ever-advancing change in the interpretation of the Bible, which change has taken place under the action of a clear and definite jaw well ktiownY-o science. j IN THB UNITED STATUS: New York, N.

HOLT, Manager Nelson Branch. ���The-evolution bf physical science, as above referred to, means that for nineteen hundred years' man, relying only Yon his'' perceptive faculties and his reasoning powers',' has been trying to solve the great mysteries of Force, "of Matter, of Life and of the Universe. That, looking backward over this great period, one sees an army of earnest minds working in their laboratories . or observatories, slowly, patiently and painfully adding little by little to/ the store of human knowledge. That. from time to time great working hypotheses or theories have been conceived, put forth, believed in for a time and then abandoned in favor of new working hypotheses, new theories, which have in. the same way been abandoned in their turn. The great, ' transcendant minds like those of Galileo, Newton and Copernicus; great mathematicians, astronomers, chemists and physicists have lived great lives and won immortal renown by their mighty, magnificent struggle against the unknown. That in short, for nineteen hundred centuries*, in; science, as in religion, change has been the perpetual law, and human knowledge, as a purely human. quest,. has ever advanced ���toward some future intellectual position which it has been impossible to forecast or foresee. We have seen the present prophecies of religion.. What are today the prophecies of science ? In opening the International Medical Congress at St. Petersburg, in 1897, professor Virchow,. generally held to be the leading mind in physical- science in the world of today*, said: ''Gentlemen: The epoch in which the. present congress meets is. a memorable one. :But a; few., years .sejirtrate lis from' a coming em 1 which is awaited with apprehension by some, though hopefully expected My] others. All are prepared for great changes, but nobody knows what they-will be, and even men of science are unable to say.". ...... YAnd in his long and learned, but .doubting, address, reviewing the century and describing the' present position of biological science, he found; only one-, scientific dogma which he felt certain would endure ���viz: "All life is from the cell," and even since 1897 this point, too, has'been shaken. But here is a prophet of science who speaks in a more hopeful strain and with a more eager heart. Professor Oliver Lodge of the University of Liverpool may fairly be called one of the foremost, one of Jar," at the Royal instituted London: "The present is an' epoch of astounding activity in physical science. Progress is- a thing of months and weeks, almost of days. The long line of isolated ripples of past discovery seem blending into a mighty wave on the crest of which one begins to discern some oncom- ing^magnificent generalization. The suspense is becoming feverish; at times almost ' painful. One feels like a boy who has been long on the silent keyboard of a deserted organ, into the chests of which some unseen power begins to blow a vivifying breath. Astonished, he now finds that the touch of a finger elicits a responsive note and hesitates, half affrighted, lest he be deafened by the chords which it would seem he can now summon, forth almost at will." What has happened in the last ten years of brilliant scientific discovery is this: That the physical sciences in their investigations have reached the boundaries of their special domains. They have agreed, from astronomy to chemistry, upon this proposition: "There is only one universal aud identical force'in action in the universe; all matter is under the control of spiritual laws." Biology calls -" this force "life;" physics calls it "thought," "etheric energy", and "volition;" religion calls it "divine will." Science must progress.. It cannot stop. And the only possible avenue of its future progress is the investigation - of those spiritual laws which it now admits and declares govern all material things. It has in its natural advance crossed the frontier into the territory of religion and today' stands firmly planted upon religious ground.. As a matter of fact, it is now the conviction of evolutionary science that churches are coming together, that the sciences are coming together and that religion and science are coming together in one union, final and complete.���J.
